Etymology

Tot comes from Latin totus, meaning whole or entire. The word passed into Romanian with its core sense intact and, over time, picked up extra jobs as an adverb meaning still, always, or also. Latin totus itself has no securely established deeper root; etymologists generally mark its origin as unclear.
